Will Using Lift Spacers with Firestone Ride Rite Make Ride Quality Smoother When Lifting Suspension

Question

Question:

I have a 2004 toyota tundra trd with a lift and ride rite already installed with no spacers. Will adding the spacers give me more lift with less pressure and will it make the ride less bouncy? Thanks

I would recommend you get the appropriate lift spacer on your 2004 Toyota Tundra with the Firestone Ride Rite System part # F2245 installed. If you have a 2 inch lift you would want the # F2366 that you referenced.

If you are using the # F2245 to raise your suspension the ride will be bumpy regardless because when air springs have enough pressure in them to raise the body of a vehicle the springs become hard enough that the ride quality suffers.
